The Boulder County sheriff and five deputies are named in an excessive force lawsuit after an inmate was tasered even though she was already in a restraint chair with her hands strapped behind her back and her head covered with a spit hood.

Lauren Gotthelf filed the federal lawsuit Tuesday morning for an incident that occurred Nov. 25, 2017.

The 34-year-old was ticketed by a Boulder police officer for smoking on the Pearl Street Mall and allowing her service dog to be off-leash. When Gotthelf refused to sign the summons, she was taken to the Boulder County Jail.

Once at the jail, Sgt. Chris Reiss can be heard on body cam footage telling Gotthelf, "Based on your suicide statements, you're going on suicide watch."

Gotthelf is heard denying she made any suicidal statements but there is no body cam that recorded what she may have said moments earlier, only the interaction between her and deputies that followed.

Emma Watson came out as 'self partnered' this week. Phew. By doing so, the Harry Potter actress predictably indulged the fragile egos of her female middle class disciples by emboldening them to embrace their 'singledom.' Hurrah.

Comment: The mass media makes it seem like this is a movement that is gaining ground and is here to stay but it couldn't be further from the truth. This movement is composed of a minority of people, but is forced upon the western world to weaken and unravel societies and change them into a Orwellian playground for the elites.

Democrat-controlled Tucson rejects plan to be a sanctuary city in order to beat the system

After Arizona passed a law that required local police to check the immigration status of people suspected to be in the country illegally, the state's second-largest city wanted to send a message.

The Democrats who control Tucson designated their town an "immigrant welcoming city" in 2012, and the police department adopted rules limiting when officers can ask about the immigration status of people they encounter.

But on Tuesday, given the chance to push the envelope further, the heavily Democratic city voted overwhelmingly not to become an official "sanctuary city" with more restrictions on how and when police officers can enforce immigration laws.

The incongruous result followed a contentious disagreement that divided progressives between those eager to stand up for immigrants and against President Donald Trump, and those who said the initiative would bring nothing more than unintended consequences.

"The city of Tucson, in all respects except being labeled as such, operates as a sanctuary city," Mayor Jonathan Rothschild said in an interview before the vote.

Massive 'marijuana' shipment confiscated by NYPD is actually legal hemp: business owner

75th Precinct marijuana CBD
NYPD officers from the 75th Precinct proudly stand over 106 pounds of confiscated hemp thinking it was illegal marijuana.
His hemp shipment was certified to contain .14 percent THC, according to documents he provided The Post.

On Saturday, cops called GreenAngels CBD telling them to come pick up their greenery — but when Levy's brother Ronen arrived at the station house, cops instead slapped cuffs on him.

A day later, the 75th Precinct tweeted a photo of dozens of large bags of what looks like marijuana with the caption, "Great job by Day Tour Sector E yesterday. Working with FedEx and other local law enforcement, they were able to confiscate 106 Lbs. of marijuana, and arrest the individual associated with the intended delivery."

Comment: Much is changing within the topic of CBD and hemp in the US, and it's little surprise that police are behind the learning curve. Check out Sott.Net's Objective:Health show for the low down on CBD:

Las Vegas bans homeless people from sleeping on the streets

homeless on street
Las Vegas officials approved a measure this week that bans homeless people from sleeping on the street.

The controversial law, approved Wednesday despite being condemned as a "war on the poor," will make al fresco snoozing forbidden in most downtown areas, if beds are available in established shelters.

It will be a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

"It's criminalizing the homeless," the Rev. Leonard Jackson, director of the city's Faith Organizing Alliance, complained during a City Hall protest before the law was approved.

Comment: Critics are calling this a 'war on the poor', but allowing homeless people to sleep on the streets when there are actual beds available isn't helping them nor is it helping the local community. The streets of Los Angeles are a prime example of how liberal 'anything goes' policies are destroying the city:

Will bitcoin save the world from 'highly aggressive weaponized US-dollar Empire'? Keiser Report explores

US Сongressman Brad Sherman has warned that bitcoin is a threat to the US dollar and its status as "the sole reserve currency in the world." He has previously urged Congress to consider banning all of cryptocurrencies.

RT's Keiser Report hosts discuss the issue, with Stacy Herbert reminding that de-dollarization is already happening.

She points out that President Xi Jinping has recently called to accelerate blockchain adoption in China, and Russia's energy giant Rosneft has ditched the greenback in its oil contracts in favor of the euro.

Max Keiser explains that "Other countries feel they are tired to be assailed upon by the highly aggressive American weaponized US dollar Empire, and they are figuring out that they can secede via bitcoin, which is easier to use than gold..."

Dershowitz still lobbying for Israeli criminal Dan Gertler, pillager of of the Congo

Dan Gertler, the criminal billionaire from Israel who has looted Africa of several billion dollars, is too corrupt even for the Trump administration — but not for publicity hound, pro-Israel lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who has just registered to lobby the U.S. government on Gertler's behalf.

Dershowitz and Louis Freeh, the former FBI director who also registered to lobby for Gertler, are apparently arguing for the removal of Treasury Department sanctions that prevent Gertler from doing business in the U.S. In 2017, Treasury explained why it was punishing the Israeli under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, as a "malign" actor who has committed human rights abuses.
Gertler is an international businessman and billionaire who has amassed his fortune through hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of opaque and corrupt mining and oil deals in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) . . . As a result, between 2010 and 2012 alone, the DRC reportedly lost over $1.36 billion in revenues from the underpricing of mining assets. . .

Comment: Gertler has been under scrutiny for at least three years, but just like Epstein (for a very long time), good connections equals a "get out of jail free" card. Dershowitz has been manning the barricades for Getler since last December.

Looper: Firefighter chief in tiny Siberian village suspected of five arson attacks 'to check brigade's preparedness'

A fire brigade chief in a small Russian village is suspected of being behind a series of arson attacks since he took office just over two months ago. The fires were meant to test the efficiency of the brigade, according to rumors.

The bizarre arson case that was made public this week happened in a village called Balyksa in Russia's Khakassia region in western Siberia. The small isolated community of less than 2,000 residents was hit by a string of inexplicable fires in the past two months. That is, they were inexplicable until law enforcement found proof that they were man-made.

But it's the identity of the suspected perpetrator that made the case special. The arsons were pinned on none other than the chief of the village's fire brigade. The 26-year-old man was caught on a CCTV camera when he was setting on fire a wooden garage in late October, the local branch of the news program Vesti reported on Wednesday.

Saying 'blind spot' is ableist, not inclusive enough - say power-hungry liberals

In a misguided attempt at protecting the so called "marginalized" individuals, the regressive left continues to ban an ever-increasing list of words - an action that only serves as a tool for oppression.

Thanks in large part to the intrusive nature of the internet in our daily lives, an annoying trend has taken root where any and every thing we say comes under scrutiny from complete strangers. More so now as a new community of victim olympians scour the net for things to take umbrage with.


Did you know you're not supposed to say "blind spot" anymore? You know, that thing everyone has on the periphery of their vision. It might sound absurd that such a common phrase could be deemed offensive, but as we now live in clown world, that's exactly what has happened. The same goes with "turn a blind eye" and "tone deaf."

The reasoning for this is that such terms are viewed as "ableist", a word that by its dictionary definition means "discriminating against disabled or handicapped people." Now maybe it's because I don't suffer from the mental handicap that is being "woke", but I struggle to see how "tone deaf" is discriminatory.
